Re: readline configure error again

I have looked in config.log, but unfortunately I am none the wiser.... The
first appearance of readline looks like this...

configure:5800: checking for readline
configure:5837: gcc -o conftest -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib
conftest.c -lreadline -lrt -lresolv -lgen -lsocket -lnsl -ldl -lm
>&5

(file /usr/ccs/lib/values-Xa.o and file
/usr/local/lib/libreadline.so);
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to conftest
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

But I have no idea what the problem is or how to fix it.....

Wouldn't the ....

--with-libs=/usr/local/lib --with-includes=/usr/local/include

... part of the configure take care of any search path problems?

Thanks for any help
